Introduction

Efficiently managing a large number of skills is crucial for any organisation aiming to streamline talent acquisition, employee development, and performance tracking.

To simplify this process, uKnowva HRMS offers the ability to import multiple skills in one go using a structured CSV file.

This bulk import functionality not only saves time but also ensures data consistency across your HR system. To get started with this process, you must first navigate to the Skills page.

Step 1: Accessing the Import Option

After you log in to uKnowva and reach the Skills Master page, you will see a list of all previously added skills.

For guidance on accessing this page, refer to the tutorial here.

These are displayed under key columns like Skill Name, Action, Category, and Published.

To begin the bulk import process, click on the Import button located at the top-right area above the skills list.

This action opens a new pop-up titled Import Skills Master, specifically designed to handle CSV-based data imports.

Step 2: Preparing the Import File

Before uploading any data, it is important to format your CSV file correctly.

To help with this, uKnowva provides a downloadable template that outlines the required fields and format.

Click on the Download CSV Import Template file button to save this template to your local system.

Open the file, fill in the necessary skill information—such as Skill Name, Category, and Published status—and ensure all details are accurate and properly arranged as per the format.

Step 3: Uploading and Importing the Skills

Once your CSV file is ready, return to the Import Skills Master pop-up and click on the Choose Your File or Browse button to select the filled template from your system.

After selecting the file, click the Upload File button to begin importing the skills into the system.

The data will be processed and added to your uKnowva HRMS environment, making it readily available for assignment to users or use in performance evaluations.

You’ve now successfully imported a batch of new skills into uKnowva HRMS.

By following this process, you ensure that your skills database remains comprehensive and up to date, with minimal manual effort.
